It was Christmas Eve, which means it was time to celebrate at Ba's and Opa's house with some of our customary traditions. Who greeted us at the door? Why, it's Dia and Ba!
Uncle Karl, Aunt Amy and Dia pose for a family picture by Ba's beautiful tree.
The girls (clearly the majority) rested on the couch while the boys set up the cameras and clicked away.
Ellie cozied up to Ba.
Our family portrait, Christmas 2012.
What a great photo of the grandparents with their little bundles of joy!
We made it, with eyes still open (barely) after a week of moving, unpacking, and Christmas decorating!
Then it was time to light the candles and have the kids walk to the Christmas tree singing "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht".
Evie as the oldest takes the lead.
Present time! After quickly ripping through her gifts, Evie played Santa and helped Opa unwrap a book of science experiments to do with kids!
After dinner, the three girls played a duet (triplet?) on the baby grand piano. Some budding pianists here! What a lovely night to remember!
